Then why would he deny the truth from Earnest when Earnest already knows it anyway? Because he wants to distance himself fron the event. Ernest didnt know the truth. Ernest believed that the demon was unrelated to Tony. The more people Dante can get to believe he wasnt Tony the less people who may end up bothering him about it.

Why would he play along with the family as Tony and keep the facade only to then reveal himself to not be the same Tony in both instances during serious conversations? That line of reasoning and logic doesn't make sense if he's just keeping a facade to hide his past, especially when the during the episode that the facade he put up was him playing as Earnest's friend, not the fact that he was a different person altogether. Dante didnt play his friend though. He claimed not to be Tony all through the episode.

Also correction, the demon said he "was still just a kid" within the present time, not of the past. The demon is referring to Dante's current young appearance in the anime, and he even implies that he didn't know what Dante looked like except that he's a son of Sparda, heavily implying that it's the first time they've met since he never knew what Dante looked like until now. I am not sure what that is suppose to mean. "I was wondering what you'd look like, but you are still just a kid." The word "still" implies that there was a previous meeting between the two of them and that to the demon, Dante is still young.

Again, these aren't speculations but clear facts portrayed in the episode. If you ignore the subtext and clues. The fact that Dante knew the exact location of the box is a dead give away.
